Wow !
Steve Kinnaird was so right about the ebony accents against the bubinga. The pore filler reveals the depth of this bubinga set. This will be a beautiful one. You may not keep it very long for yourself Fred !  JF

The guitar is now in the spray booth, one more spray session tomorrow and it will be curing for 4 days. I am trying a new finish called Brite-tone, a water based product that is high build and quick curing so I can level sand and buff sooner. So far I think it is a good product but not as easy to spray as the Nitro Lacquer I have used up to this build.
Here are some photos taken after the 1st 3 coats.    Thanks for looking Fred

The body and neck are rough buffed and will be continued up to Xfine compound and swirl removal polish before neck and bridge added to the body.

That looks beautiful. A rib and arm bevel combination add a great degree of comfort. Excellent workmanship!!

I got the strings on and a rough setup completed and now waiting for the guitar to settle in before the final setup. I hope to get a video clip and some better pictures in the next few days.
   Thanks for looking Fred
